•It definitely wasn't lightning that struck twice in the same place. Moberly homeowner, Larry McCollum, says he has lived at 482 East Rollins for 22 years and had enjoyed 22 quiet years at that location – until recently. On December 6 a vehicle hit Larry's front brick snow covered wall. That person left the scene, but a license plate was left in the snow. Then, just Tuesday morning, January 8, while Larry was working at his computer a loud bang shook the house. A young man who was returning home after working the third shift at his job in Mexico, crashed into that same brick wall and took down a street sign as well. According to McCollum that young man stopped and apologized over and over.
